Lovat Dashboard makes it easy to collaboratively strategize in the FIRST Robotics Competition using a variety of statistics and predictions. Lovat Dashboard users can share picklists, notes and scouter schedules with others on their team. However, users not currently affiliated with an FRC team are also able to use Lovat Dashboard. The app uses data recorded on Lovat Collection to make a set of 22 team-specific metrics. Each team specific metric features an average, a graph, and comparison to the average of all teams. Beyond looking at individual teams analytics, you can view the data on the alliance or match level through the My Alliance and Match Prediction pages. Test out different combinations of auto paths on the My Alliance page to avoid collisions and score the most points. Easily flip between the red and blue alliances, and view the likelihood an alliance will win on the Match Prediction page. When it’s time to pick alliance partners, generate a picklist by adjusting the weights of the 11+ sliders. Once the picklist has been calculated, share it with others on your team and convert it to a mutable picklist to fine-tune the order.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lovat Dashboard at 100% against Prusa's 51%. Lovat Dashboard also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 weeks). Prusa's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
